RANTING/VENTING MEGATHREAD 3.0

[CJ]

Rant: maybe certain arguments can not be had all over the ranting thread. Create a thread or inbox each other. It displeases me. I do not like being displeased. It is not the arguing thread, it's the ranting/venting thread. Make a pointless argument thread. That would be good.


In other news I am being kicked out of my classroom now (they are having a meeting in here with parentals), with nowhere to go. So I am truly just standing in a hallway with bags of my shit for English Art class waiting for an opportunity to grab a classroom.

YES! Like an argument thread - no rules, always disagree, always debate. It would be like Battle Royale, who will survive? but no hard feelings held outside the thread.

I love having a good row sometimes.

What a stupid idea!!!!!! An argument thread!!! This entire website is one big argument! I'm offended by the stupidy and unlettered way in which you have expressed your imbecilic thoughts on having an argument thread!!!!!  My Lord! What is the world coming to???? Give someone a computer and an Internet connection and they all come out of the woodwork, don't they?

Here are the progression of my EXACT comments in the thread of the couple who died:

Yes. The fact that you repost that to somehow show that you think you said nothing wrong says it all really.

You baiting me for any special reason?

I reposted them in their entirety to simply prove that what is being claimed is revisionist nonsense.

Now, you would like to move the goalposts and "generalize" to say that I said something wrong in one of those posts, since I never said "they deserved to die"? Please.

Let the words speak for themselves.

Yeah I'm baiting you 
I never said that. I said you were complaining that a dead couple in their 20s didn't have funeral insurance. AS though that a normal thing for anyone under 40/50 to have purchased. All this while a member of one of their families was in the thread.
Then you act all "Yes, i'm a caveman hoho. you all need safe spaces".

No, you are just a dope.

I want cheese ramen, but the place I enjoy is at the train station which is a 15 minute bus ride away.

I know it's instant ramen, but there's something about that fancy spoon that makes it taste better.

Maybe I'll treat myself.

Never happened.

I was advocating for others to protect themselves and defending them to other users.

Is English not your first language?  You might need to reread those posts...

Name calling now?

Move along...

There used to be one on Expatkorea called 'Fight Club' which worked well.

Bring that here and Pennypie would be hitting me with her Daily Mail, while swigging from her Bacardi Breezer and calling me a tawt.  I'll just be sitting here drinking ovaltine and waiting for Marks and Sparks to open to 'get me bitz'.

Be the bigger, man. Don't reply.

So we move into a new place that had been occupied by some Korean girls before us. Was pretty okay except there was blood all over the bathroom. No matter how many times I scrubbed, I couldn't get all the bloodstains out. Or the mold. At least there wasn't visible mold in the living areas, though...

Sounds like either these girls were into butchering their own meat or butchering people.

[What?What?]

Hahahahaa I really like the idea of a fight club thread! I would avoid it like the plague .

[yirj17]

Ate a whole batch of chocolate rice crispy treats all by myself within the span of two nights.  Happy to report there is no sign of cancer!

:)

Had any fairy bread lately?

Tried it once and wasn't a big fan, actually.  Looks better than it tastes.  Got plenty of other sources of poison though.

However, posters from the "peanut gallery" start chiming in "wish pecan were dead" etc. :)

I prefer my pecans roasted.   

As for the cancer comment-- it was an off the cuff remark that I did not perceive as actually wishing cancer upon me.  While there are indeed times when I find some of Pecan's comments to be nutty or even tactless, this occasion wasn't one of them and isn't one to get up in arms about.  This would be in the same vein as calling someone's cigarettes "cancer sticks." 

Anyway... a fight club thread sounds like it has potential to be mighty entertaining!  I imagine a great influx in sock accounts. 

[Pecan]

Yirj17,

Appreciate the comments.

Be well.

[meepmoopimmarobots]

Fonzie wouldn't talk to Pecan, and neither should anyone else.

Let us aaaaayyyyyyyy.

Whatever Pennypie!  I know your type!

I love how "is English not your first language?" reigns as the Ultimate Siq Burn around here.

[donovan]

I mean, anybody that construed waygook.org user Pecan's cancer comment as being anything beyond a joke is seriously just looking for something to be upset about.

I didn't actually see the comment, I just remember yirj saying later it was something about her getting cancer.

But if it was just a bad joke and not an especially offensive one, something else must've got pecan muted. Time to put our detective hats back on.

I prefer the rather cutting, "Your reading comprehension is terrible!"

[What?What?]

One of the things that irritates me more than almost anything else is people complaining about something, being shown a simple solution, ignoring it, and continuing to complain.

It's seriously maddening. People would rather gripe about something than fix it and have nothing to whine about.

I had this experience yesterday with someone. Honestly, I think he was just looking for attention and sympathy rather than an actual solution.

Yeah like that guy with the humid apartment who refused to get an air con unit installed because supposedly his school would "go on about it."

So I was giving a few files to my coT and I connected my USB to her computer, and, true to these POS bricks, it doesn't read my USB in a timely manner. I understand that it's just duhhhhing its way through the process, but coT calls over another teacher to "solve" the problem, anyway. Ofc, the computer reads the USB just as the other teacher arrives, but instead of accepting that we now got this he assumes that neither one of us knows how to transfer files from a USB to a computer (he knew what the original problem was, he just didn't want to go away after coming over), and he refuses to hand over control of the mouse to us. He then completely ignores me when I tell him which files I need to transfer, and proceeds to dump EVERYTHING from my USB onto the computer. We're talking 50 GB worth in random crap. And the coT only needed, like, 3 .pdf files and a movie.

It's not the mistake that annoyed me. It's the fact that this teacher would not listen to a ****** thing we told him and wouldn't let us do this simple thing for ourselves. I understand that he was only trying to help, but I also felt like he was trying to prove something, and the ****** weekend needs to hurry up and get here because I'm about to claw someone's eyes out.
